This intricate psychological drama underscored by radiant, expansive music stretches the imagination, making Il Trovatore one of the highlights of the Liceu’s 2020 season. 

Sincerity and purity are the defining traits of Leonora, played by Anna Netrebko. Yusif Eyvazov, Ludovic Tézier, and Okka von der Damerau complete the A-list cast who bring us this classic tale of love and vengeance.

The opera premiered in Rome in 1853 and was first seen at the Liceu in 1854, Set in 15th-century Aragon, the characters fall victim to a gypsy's machinations. Composer Giuseppe Verdi shows us that the past is a burden from which it is impossible to escape. 

The Liceu will be a witness to a historic event with the staging of this particular version of the opera: Dudamel onstage with Netrebko and Eyvazov for the very first time, with Maestro Gustav Dudamel making his debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu.

This is not a performance to miss!
